2020 New Zealand Powerscapes

My artmaking is full of people and the human experience. Here, in New Zealand, the narrative of the landscape supersedes any person. Mountains are both the subject and the story. The personal history, all of the physical evolution and continual cycles of growth and erosion are clear: Wisdom in experiential time of the mountains and hills dwarfs the tiny lifespan of a person.

 

New Zealand studies and Map Collages

I was supplied with New Zealand maps, both topographical and aerial maps. Layer ideas of the natural environment with ideas of charting, measuring and translating the ever-changing earth into a different type visual description.
